The aca­demi­cons pack­age pro­vides ac­cess in (La)TeX to
76 high qual­ity icons of on­line aca­demic pro­files in­cluded in
the free "Aca­demi­cons" font. This pack­age re­quires ei­ther the
Xe(La)TeX or Lua(La)TeX en­gine to load the "Aca­demi­cons" font
from the sys­tem, which re­quires in­stalling the bun­dled
aca­demi­cons.ttf font file. As new re­leases come out, it
is rec­om­mended to in­stall the bun­dled font ver­sion as there may
be dif­fer­ences be­tween the pack­age and pre­vi­ous font ver­sions or
newest font ver­sions not yet con­tem­plated in the pack­age.

The "Aca­demi­cons" font was de­signed by James Walsh and re­leased
(see http://jp­swalsh.github.io/aca­demi­cons/)
un­der the open SIL Open Font Li­cense. This pack­age is a
re­dis­tri­bu­tion of the free "Aca­demi­cons" font with spe­cific
bind­ings for (La)TeX. It is in­spired and based on the fontawe­some" pack­age.

The aca­demi­cons pack­age pro­vides the generic \ai­icon
com­mand to ac­cess icons, which takes as manda­tory ar­gu­ment the
name of the de­sired icon. It also pro­vides in­di­vid­ual di­rect
com­mands for each spe­cific icon. The full list of icons and
their re­spec­tive names and di­rect com­mands can be found in the
man­ual. For ex­am­ple, \ai­icon{googlescholar} yields the
same re­sult as \aiGoogleS­cholar.
